Got a question for you Ruger 10/22 fans out there: If you had the chance to buy a excellent condition older model 10/22 with the metal trigger guard, would you buy it instead of a new one? If the answer is yes, would you actually pay MORE for the older model than the new one?
One of our local gun shops has an older 10/22 with what appears to be a walnut "sporter" stock, plus an inexpensive Simmon scope. The gun looks pristine. The price is about $100 more than a new model with the carbine (metal barrel band) stock.
I love the feel of the walnut stock, and I have a thing for older all-metal guns. But still...if seems a bit much to pay that much of a premium.
Any thoughts?

Here's a pic of the sporter stock. This is not my photo:
